"If
music be the food of love, play on," someone once said. And
so my band plays (silently) on. The lead singer/guitarist is a fork,
perfect for holding food in place and pronging errant peas. The
bassist is a knife, the first weapon known to man (Cain drew
his knife, crept up behind his brother Abel and slit his throat
with one swift motion) but also handy for cutting steaks and
chopping vegetables. On drums is a spoon. (Who hasn't used a spoon
to tap out a rhythm as he waited for the meal to start?). A spoon
can be used for soups or deserts and let's not forget that they
are also useful for slippery pasta.

Here,
the band are having a jam. Obviously, the knife is useful here,
as he can spread the jam across bread to form a sandwich. The spoon
can also be useful for scooping the last jelly-like remnants of
jam from the jar. The fork is pretty much useless, but since he's
the singer (EGO) and lead guitarist (EGOx2) he is included, because
otherwise he'd storm off in a huff and end up in bed with an underage
groupie (a teaspoon) and fall asleep drunk in the wrong cutlery
draw.

Cutlery
is very important in any domestic situation. But the usefulness
doesn't stop it from also being FUN!
